A Light in the Dark Ages.

Mont St-Michel. Normandie.

L’Abbaye du Mont-St-Michel fut édifiée par les bénédictins à partir du X ème siècle.
Au XII ème, à son apogée, son rayonnement intellectuel s’étendait sur tout l’Occident. Sa bibliothèque contenait des oeuvres de Caton l’Ancien, le Timée de Platon, des textes d’Aristote, de Cicéron, Virgile...
C’est l’un des monuments les plus visités de France et elle figure avec la baie qui l’entoure au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco.
